摘要:This paper studies a delayed viral infection model with diffusion and a general incidence rate. A discrete-time model was derived by applying nonstandard finite difference scheme. The positivity and boundedness of solutions are presented. We established the global stability of equilibria in terms of R 0 by applying Lyapunov method. The results showed that if R 0 is less than 1, then the infection-free equilibrium E 0 is globally asymptotically stable. If R 0 is greater than 1, then the infection equilibrium E ∗ is globally asymptotically stable. Numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results.
